DESCRIPTION

VIACRYL VSC 160/60T is a plasticized acrylic mixed polymer that dries by solvent evaporation (physical drying), and VIACRYL VSC 160/60T forms a thermoplastic film after solvent release.
VIACRYL VSC 160/60T is formulated to allow high pigment and extender loading while maintaining workable viscosity, and VIACRYL VSC 160/60T supports rapid film build and early trafficability in road marking applications.
VIACRYL VSC 160/60T flexibility is adjusted through internal plasticization, and this reduces the need for additional external plasticizers in many standard road marking designs.

VIACRYL VSC 160/60T compatibility is generally good with common pigments and extenders, but VIACRYL VSC 160/60T should be evaluated carefully with strongly basic pigments or basic surface-treated pigments because these can affect stability and performance.
VIACRYL VSC 160/60T performance depends on solvent balance and drying conditions, and low temperature, high humidity, or poor airflow can slow drying and reduce early traffic resistance.

FIRST AID

Inhalation:
Move to fresh air immediately.
Seek medical attention if dizziness, headache, nausea, or breathing discomfort occurs.
If breathing is difficult, seek urgent medical care.

Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.
Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye Contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing.
Seek medical attention promptly if irritation persists.

Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water and do not induce vomiting.
Seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison center.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Note to Physicians:
Treat symptomatically.
Consider solvent exposure effects and aspiration risk.
Provide supportive care as needed.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:
Use appropriate PPE including solvent-resistant gloves, safety glasses or face shield, and protective clothing.
Avoid inhalation of vapors and avoid prolonged skin contact.
Eliminate ignition sources and use grounding/bonding during transfer because the product is solventborne and flammable.

Ventilation:
Use local exhaust ventilation during mixing, filling, and application.
Avoid working in confined spaces without adequate airflow.
Use explosion-proof ventilation and equipment where flammable vapors may be present.

Storage:
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight.
Segregate from strong oxidizers and incompatible reactive chemicals.

Spill and Leak Procedures:
Eliminate ignition sources and ventilate the area.
Contain spill with inert absorbent and collect into approved containers.
Dispose of waste according to local regulations and facility procedures.

Handling Precautions:
Verify pigment compatibility because strongly basic pigments can destabilize acrylic resin solutions and affect performance.
Control solvent balance because dilution and VOC profile influence drying speed, open time, and film formation.
Rotate stock using FIFO practices to maintain consistent viscosity, application behavior, and road marking performance.
